I am so proud to announce that our 2023 MEE paper won ESA's Ecological Forecasting Outstanding Publication Award 2024. This is a huge honour for me and my co-authors, after many years dedicated to developing tools that help ecologists create integrated, repeatable and transparent modelling workflows
By integrating data sourcing, data prep., model calibration and prediction/forecasting, validation and visualisation, we were able to more easily transfer and adapt our modeling workflows to new contexts and new data.
Jul 25, 2024 21:04We also demonstrated the importance of rapid and integrated validation to judge model quality. "More data" and "more complex calibration" were not ubiquitously best, and the more data-hungry model actually performed worse at predicting simple forest properties.
